1866. The total value of silver de-

ceding year. The total coinage ag-
gregated S47, 703 Alb. Silver bullion

Atlanta goes back to license. At
ter an unparalleled contest the city
and county on Saturday voted
against prohibition by majority of
1920 in a total poll of 5000. Two
years ago the prohibition majority
was 200. Considering the influence
that the liquor traffic can always
command, the result is neither sur
prising nor discouraging. The real
wonder is that in chief city in any
southern state prohibition could poll
so many votes. The pendulum may
be expected to swing forward again
in few years.

Being unable to attend the no-li-
cense meeting at Boston, Senator
George F. Hoar sent a letter in which
he said: II am, and always have
been, in favor of prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors. But no pro
hibition, whether in constitution or
statute, will be worth much unless it
is supported by constant and siren
uous public sentiment. The senti-
ment can be created and sustained
only by the most earnest efforts.
Neither the sale nor use of intoxicat-
ing drinks will ever be prevented by
mere legal machinery"

An American fishing vessel land
ing in a Canadian port is not allowed
to ship its cargo to Portland or Bos-
ton. The Canadian Pacific Railway
by means of its arrangements with
the secretary of the treasury is ena-
bled to ship freight of all kinds from
California and Puget Sound to Port
land, Boston, New York, or any 9th
er eastern city. Why should the Ca
madam Pacific be allowed to trans
port freight from American territory
without restriction when an Ameri-
can fishing smack is denied the petty
privilege of shipping its surplus car
go from Canadian territory to New
England?

The chief of the bureau of stats
tics, in his fourth monthly statement
for the current fiscal year of imports
and exports, reports that the total
value of the imports of merchandise
for the y months ended October 81,
1887, were S7O7, 062 ,498, against
$500 ,873, 6lO for 1886. The values
of the exports for the same periods
were 1924, O25, 735 and s667, O21, 848
respectively, being an excess of ex-
ports over imports for the year of

continues to figure on the right side
of the ledger yet, although the bal
ance is small.

SOLDIERS HOME

Dakota now has nearly 100000 inhabi-
tants and it is estimated that the heads ef
10000 families in Dakota are old soldiers.
Most OF these old fellows are not rich-rlany
of them are in INDECENT circumstances
and it woald be eminently the proper act
for this great commonwealth to care for
these old boys in q loyal and practical
manner. 1t is discouragng to look to the
"brigadiers" of Congress for proper legis-
lation in this matter so We turn to Dakota
That her pulse throbs responsively to the
wants OF citizen veterans Of the war is evil
denced by the fact that some three or four
bills have been introduced in the territor-
ial heuse providing for a soldiers home.
The bill of Mr.. Burnham provides for a
beard of managers consisting Of the gov.
ernor. secretary and chief justice of the
territory, during their terms Of Office. and
nine citizens, to be appointed by the gov
ernor. who shall hold office for six years.
This board shall have authority to locate
the site of the proposed home and to take
such other action as may be necessary to
carry out the provisions Of the bill. The
officers Of the home are to be governor, O
secretary and treasurer, and such other
officers as the board of managers shall
deem necessary, to be appointed frsm dis
abled officers and soldiers. The bill pro-
vides for the appropriation Of SIC, 900,

The finances Of Dakota make q most
gratifying exhibit. Notwithstanding large
appropriations and expenditures during
the past two years-expenditures used for
providing permanent institutions for SUI h
a rapidly growing community-there was
in the treasury November 80, 1886, a clear
balance of s231 ,9S2 SO. Gov. Pierce In
his message states that this balance is not
only sufficient to pay all proper expenses OF
the territorial government, and all reason
able appropriations, bat TO pay off all the
bonded Indebtedness OF the territory. So
satisfactory was the condition of the terri
torial finances that the $4,000 of per
cent, bonds authorized by the legislature
two years ago were sold at q premium Of
8 2 per cent.-oertainly remarkable fact,
when the general prejudice in the money
mark cts against all territorial securities is
remembered. The holders Of 800, 900 of
optional bonds have actually refused to
| surrender them for redemption. under the
call Of the territorial treasurer, because
there is omission 1.-THE law to prescribe the
! manner Of such call, a defect which the
present legislature will remedy.
With such amendatory le2isl .tion it is be-
lieved that the whole territorial bonded
Indebtedness, being optional as to time of
payment, can at once be called in and paid.
or refunded at per cent. at par. Yet this
treasury surplus is produced by q remark
ably low rate Of taxation, and the territ r
ial Indebtedness has not yet resched half
the prescribed limit. Sioux City Journal.

Commissioner Sparks has finally admit
ted he is not making the spontaneous re-
formations in the land office he and his
few friends at first claimed. He now wants
a new division attached to the general land
Office for the single purpose OF considering
and ajusting costest cases, which have ac-
cumulated to the number OF Ii, 900. Sparks
attempt at economy by reducing his cleri-
cal assistance has resulted disastrously
and he will now have to double his force,
or have an entire new division formed in
the land office. The brunt OF this penny
wise course as usual falls on the innocent
settler, thousands Of whom are wasting
time and money awaiting the settlement of
their contests.
